Reboot takes nearly a minute! Shutdown is seconds though.

Weird issue I have noticed with my new system build. If I 'Restart' he system shuts down and looks like it's about to reset but it just sits there. For maybe 30 seconds on a black screen before finally it reboots.

If I just select shutdown it's instant and turns off as normal.

I am a little confused. At first I thought it had hung, or was installing updates but it's not. I am at a loss, if Windows was having trouble shutting a service down etc surley it would affect shutdown too.

I'm running Windows 8.1. Motherboard is MSI X99S Gaming 7.

Anyone got any thoughts on this, it seems pretty bizarre.

Have you got the latest bios ? Remove all usb periphariels in case one is faulty.

It sounds like it could possibly be a USB addressing issue or a memory issue to me.

I have had issues with both resulting in a slow boot.

USB - the computer tries to address each USB device at startup and a faulty one will cause it to 'loop'.

Memory, a timing issue, or even a poorly seated stick can and have both resulted in a boot slowdown for me.

May be something else, but I would try these first.

I had similar problem, start up Ok but would not shutdown or restart, and found it was a USB 3.0 hub I had connected. Once this was removed everything worked fine.
